Prefer fresh air to air fresheners? When it's not the time nor place for even the fanciest candle, the Fresh Wave odor-neutralizing product line clears the air. It neuters the musty from your front-loader, and says it even stands up to flood, fire or mutt.
Fresh Wave uses electrostatic molecules to grab the nasty-smelling ones and whisk them away without masking scents. Great for those with allergies, sensitivities or just households who disagree on what smells good.
Created by a industrial maker, Fresh Wave claims the wherewithall to conquer flood or fire damage as well as standard basement/pet/cooking smells. And it's made of natural extracts of lime, pine needles, aniseed, clove and cedar wood.
The product line includes typical air care like a soy candle ($13.95) and spray ($9.95/8 oz.). More intriguing possibilities include a full pet line, Odor Neutralizing Crystals (14.95) and an All-Purpose Cleaning Additive ($19.80). That's the one that clears the washer or other appliances, as well as neutralize ammonia and other chemical odors.
In other words, a cleaning product to clean up after the cleaning products.

I use the crystals in the basement, which tends to get stuffy in the winter and is where I keep a litter box for my cats. I think it works really well, but I'm not sure why.
you know, out of context, that picture with the sauté pan and the cat would look really disturbing/funny.
This is one of the few products like this that I don't find offensive. The odor is actually kind of pleasant. I don't find it to be chemical at all - I take issue with so many products that believe I want my house to smell like a scented tampon. It sounds like they have a few new products since I bought my stuff last year.
I've had pretty good luck with this. When my SO visits, we hang his smoky/stale clothes (he lives above a smoker) in the closet, spray a little of thism put a little packet of the stuff in there and the smoke smell is gone in a few hours.
On the down side, I think it is pretty expensive.
I think there might be Tea Tree oil in the spray which is not good for cats FYI.
I just make my own, I bought the same spray bottle so I can keep reusing it, bought essential oli-lavendar, added alcohol and mixed with water. You need to shake before you use but it smells very clean and does the trick.
lol @ duckumu. it actually does look like cat garlic --> pan.
sorry, cat PLUS garlic into pan
anyway as a cat owner living in a small space, i am always in need of good air neutralizing recommendations. sigh
My dearly departed cat had peeing issues before she died. The Fresh Wave carpet shake worked miracles.
